When the world shut down in March of 2020, many of us immediately missed our ability to travel – not just for pleasure but for work, too. Digital marketers know the importance on staying on top of the latest trends and technology, and one of the best (and most fun!) ways to stay knowledgeable is through the myriad of conferences each year. While we still can’t meet in person, we can still attend many free virtual marketing conferences in 2021.
Last updated: March 8th, 2021.
You might be wondering why I’m specifically focusing on the online marketing conferences that are free. There are two good reasons: firstly, many people have been financially affected by the COVID crisis, so any opportunity to cut costs in regards to continuing education and training should be welcomed. Secondly, many of these free marketing conferences (or conferences with free attendance options) are coming from top-notch industry leaders. For instance, in 2020, I attended some amazing free virtual conferences hosted by companies such as Adobe, HubSpot, Reuters, and Slack.
